Hey I'm a proud owner of a bearded and blue tongue and on the weekend I came across an injured adult bearded dragon looks like he had been clipped by a motorbike.
Where I live there are no exotic vets or anything. I just need to know how to help the poor fella.
I've put him in an enclosures by him self with a heat lamp. Gave him a warm bath to clean his cut. Put a tiny bit of betadine ointment duiluted with a cotton bud. But he's not eating or drinking I tried leaving some fresh veg in there and water, tried water through a syringe with no needle.
He only has one visible injury to the left side of his head above his eye there is a minor cut. He can move and walk but just slowly. Could he just be in shock?
Could I spray him with a light most of water so he at least gets some fluids?
All this time I've been saying him but I'm 90% sure it's a grl it has one lump under it's tail near the vent and a real narrow head, could she be pregnant she has about 4 little semicircle shaped lumps in her lower belly that I can feel.
All her limbs feel fine not stiff or out of place
What should I do
